This workbook teaches how to heal emotional wounds without burying
them in food and weight obsessions. Get comfortable with the seven
most difficult feelings: guilt, shame, helplessness, anxiety,
disappointment, confusion and loneliness. A strong and healthy
person will emerge with this soul-healing workbook, enhancing your
eating and your life. An extraordinary, powerful connection exists
between feeling and feeding that, if damaged, may lead to one
relying on food for emotional support, rather than seeking
authentic happiness. This unique workbook takes on the seven
emotions that plague problem eaters - guilt, shame, helplessness,
anxiety, disappointment, confusion, and loneliness - and shows
readers how to embrace and learn from their feelings. Written with
honesty and humor, the book explains how to identify and label a
specific emotion, the function of that emotion, and why the emotion
drives food and eating problems. Each chapter has two sets of
exercises: experiential exercises that relate to emotions and
eating, and questionnaires that provoke thinking about and
understanding feelings and their purpose. Supplemental pages help
readers identify emotions and chart emotional development. The
final part of the workbook focuses on strategies for disconnecting
feeling from food, discovering emotional triggers, and
When Rebecca Lester was eleven years old-and again when she was
eighteen-she almost died from anorexia nervosa. Now both a tenured
professor in anthropology and a licensed social worker, she turns
her ethnographic and clinical gaze to the world of eating
disorders-their history, diagnosis, lived realities, treatment, and
place in the American cultural imagination. Famished, the
culmination of over two decades of anthropological and clinical
work, as well as a lifetime of lived experience, presents a
profound rethinking of eating disorders and how to treat them.
Through a mix of rich cultural analysis, detailed therapeutic
accounts, and raw autobiographical reflections, Famished helps make
sense of why people develop eating disorders, what the process of
recovery is like, and why treatments so often fail. It's also an
unsparing condemnation of the tension between profit and care in
American healthcare, demonstrating how a system set up to treat a
disease may, in fact, perpetuate it. Fierce and vulnerable,
critical and hopeful, Famished will forever change the way you
understand eating disorders and the people who suffer with them.
This work presents the adaptation of mentalization-based therapy
for use in Eating Disorders (MBT-ED). The book starts with a
presentation of the theoretical concept of mentalization and
describes eating disorders from this perspective. This is followed
by a discussion of the place of MBT-ED in eating disorders
practice. MBT is first presented as the original model for
borderline personality disorder, and then the model is further
developed to address specific symptoms found in eating disorders,
such as body image disturbance, restriction and purging. The
original MBT model consists of outpatient treatment combined with
individual and group psychotherapy, and psychoeducation in groups.
The book then looks at supervision and training, and how an eating
disorders team can develop a mentalizing focus. It goes on to
describe the training required for practitioners to deliver
individual and group MBT-ED and to supervise therapy. Lastly, it
examines the implementation of the approach in different clinical
settings, including inpatient services, and how management can be
involved in negotiating barriers and taking advantage of enablers
in the system. The authors have conducted a pilot randomized
controlled trial and qualitative research in MBT-ED and have
extensive experience in providing and supervising this novel
therapy. MBT-ED is one of the few therapies for eating disorders
that links theory of mind, and attachment and psychodynamic
therapies and as such will be of great theoretical interest to a
wide variety of clinicians and researchers.

Winner of the 2015 Red Hen Press Nonfiction Award, Circadian is a
collection of essays that weaves together personal account with
cultural narrative, only to unravel them and explore the brilliant
and destructive cycles of who we are. Using poetic language and
lyric structures, Clammer dives into her stories of trauma, mental
illnesses, and a wide spectrum of relationships in order to
understand experience through different of frameworks of thought.
Whether it's turning to mathematics to try to solve the problem of
an alcoholic father, the history of naming to look at sexism,
weather to re-consider trauma, or even grammar as a way to question
identity, these "facts" move beyond metaphor, and become new ways
to narrate our cyclical ways of being.
Healthy Food: Perspectives, Availability and Consumption first
explores the pathological form of healthy eating, orthorexia
nervosa. Although orthorexia nervosa cannot be found in the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric
Association, important findings suggest that orthorexia nervosa
should receive wider scientific and public attention. Additionally,
the current literature regarding the effects of healthy foods and
early feeding practices in childhood is explored in the context of
the primordial prevention of non-communicable diseases and their
risk factors. This compilation also examines carrot bagasse flour
and banana peel flour for their potential to be employed as
functional ingredients to improve the texture, color, and flavor of
raw meat products, as chorizo, or cooked meat products, as
sausages. Candelilla wax oleogel is investigated for its potential
to replace pork back fat lard in cooked sausages, specifically
focusing on its textural profile, moisture, color, and sensory
acceptance. Results indicate that candelilla wax oleogel can be
employed as a fat replacement, improving the health profile of
certain meat products.
Here is a basic source of information on the dynamics of eating
disorders, written by two therapists who pioneered in treating
them. This accessible and empowering book now adds four new
chapters: "Anorexia Nervosa: Sociocultural Perspectives,"
"Intensive Psychotherapy with Anorexics," "Surviving Managed Care"
(addressed especially to therapists), and "Our Daughters,
Ourselves." The book includes stories of bulimic and anorexic women
in their own words sympathetic peer-group voices to encourage women
who have begun treatment or are considering it. The author also
describes new school and college programs designed to help students
who have eating disorders. Marlene Boskind-White draws on
twenty-five years of clinical experience to set forth what actually
works to combat and overcome bulimia and anorexia, focusing on ways
to strengthen positive attitudes and develop practical coping
skills. She evaluates new therapies and new medications such as
Prozac and presents essential information on physiology and
nutrition. "I give this book my unqualified endorsement." Jean
Rubel, Ph.D., Anorexia Nervosa and Related Disorders, Inc. "An
outstanding contribution to the literature of eating disorders."

Eating disorders present diagnostic and treatment challenges to
clinicians. While such disorders need both medical and
psychological treatment, patients may be too medically ill for a
thorough psychiatric evaluation and may be misunderstood by many
primary care physicians. In this book, Drs. Philip S. Mehler and
Arnold E. Andersen provide a user-friendly and comprehensive guide
for primary care physicians, mental health professionals, and
others who encounter patients who have eating disorders. Mehler and
Andersen identify common medical complications that people who have
eating disorders face and answer questions about how to treat them.
They also cover such serious complications as osteoporosis, cardiac
arrhythmia, electrolyte abnormalities, and gastrointestinal
sequelae. Incorporating illustrative case studies, medical
background on the complications, guidelines for diagnosis and
treatment, and an up-to-date list of selected references, chapters
cover important topics including team treatment and nutritional
rehabilitation. Care of the patient who is very medically
compromised is based on extensive experience. The authors also
address special areas of concern, such as athletes who have eating
disorders, males with eating disorders, and the pharmacological
treatment of obesity. In this thoroughly revised and updated
edition of Eating Disorders, Drs. Mehler and Andersen * discuss the
results of recent randomized control trials* include new chapters
on diabetes in eating disorders, osteoporosis, gastrointestinal
complications, involuntary feeding, and innovative psychological
strategies* present a fresh consideration of ethical conflicts,
including involuntary treatment, harm reduction, palliative care,
and futility* focus on evidence-based solutions* provide
information pertinent to worried families and nonmedical
professionals like teachers and coaches, including recent genetic
findings* take a holistic approach that considers both the physical
and mental health of the patient This classic foundational guide
will help primary care and mental health professionals to
understand and more effectively address the complex concerns of
patients who have eating disorders.

Millions of people in the United States suffer from eating
disorders, and dissatisfaction with weight and body type-even in
individuals whose weight is considered normal-is similarly
widespread. In addition, more than half of Americans could benefit
from healthy weight loss. Unfortunately, not all people with eating
disorders or weight concerns respond to traditional therapeutic
interventions; many continue to suffer significant symptoms even
after treatment. What these clients need is an integrated
therapeutic approach that will prove effective in the long run-like
the scientifically backed methods in this much-needed clinical
guide. Edited by Ann F. Hayos, Jason Lillis, Evan M. Forman, and
Meghan L. Butryn; and with contributors including Kay Segal, Debra
Safer, and Hugo Alberts; Mindfulness and Acceptance for Treating
Eating Disorders and Weight Concerns is the first professional
resource to incorporate a variety of proven-effective acceptance-
and mindfulness-based approaches-such as acceptance and commitment
therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and
mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)-into the treatment of
persistent disordered eating, body image issues, and weight
problems. With these evidence-based interventions, you'll be ready
to help your clients move beyond their problems with disordered
eating, body dissatisfaction, and weight management once and for
all.
Increasing numbers of children and young people are presenting for
treatment of an eating disorder, but there are many different types
and they are often confused, making it difficult to know what
support to offer. This easy-to-read guide presents all the vital
information on a range of eating disorders: anorexia nervosa,
bulimia nervosa, selective eating, and avoidant and restrictive
intake disorders. Each eating disorder is clearly defined, making
it easy to draw distinctions between them. The book covers their
origins, characteristics and typical development, letting teachers
and parents know what signs to look out for. There is practical
advice on how to help young people, strategies for overcoming
common difficulties, as well as information on available
treatments. Vignettes feature throughout to help teachers and
parents apply knowledge to real-life situations. This is an
essential resource for teachers and parents of children and young
people with eating disorders.
Are you ready to break up with your bulimia, for real? Has your
long love affair with the binge/purge cycle finally run its course,
but breaking up with it has proven impossible? Even scary? In this
candid account, addiction recovery coach Lori Losch leads those
struggling to break up with bulimia through ten strategies to help
them gain freedom with food, while learning to love their body.
Between a two-decade battle with bulimia and body dysmorphic
disorder, along with her experience helping others overcome their
disordered eating, Lori has created a process that works. Part

Rather than Rehab will help you break the binge/purge cycle,
embrace your body, and create the life of your dreams.
Psychodrama and other action methods are especially helpful in the
treatment of the classic eating disorders as well as dieting
struggles, body dissatisfaction and associated issues of fear,
sadness, silence and shame. This book provides clinicians with
sound theoretical information, practical treatment guidelines and a
wealth of clinically-tested action structures and interventions.
The authors describe how they have introduced action methods to
work with a diverse range of clients, and suggest ways in which
psychodrama practitioners, experiential therapists and others may
integrate these methods into their practice. Offering fresh ideas
for tailoring psychodramatic standards such as The Living
Newspaper, Magic Shop and the Social Atom to eating disorder
issues, they provide extensive examples of psychodrama
interventions - classic and specially adapted for eating disorders
- for both the experienced practitioner and those new to
experiential therapies. They also explain how psychodrama can be
used in combination with other expressive, holistic and
complementary approaches, including family constellations, music,
art, imagery, ritual, Five Element Acupuncture, yoga, Reiki and
other energy work. This pioneering book is essential reading for
practitioners and students of psychodrama, drama therapy,
experiential psychotherapy, cognitive and expressive arts therapies
and mental health professionals, as well as professionals
interested in complementary health modalities.
